Transgender ROTC Student Finds Support

Morgantown junior Levi Hanson was undecided about what he wanted to do in the future or what to major in when he arrived at WKU. He just knew he wanted to feel like he was helping people.

Hanson, a transgender male, began taking ROTC classes last year and was working toward becoming a contracted cadet in the program. But when President Donald Trump announced the policy change to not allow transgender individuals to be recruited into the army, Hanson’s plans were forced to change.
